None.  Real-mode seg:off addresses cannot address more than the first 1MB
of memory (they only have 20 bits).

I suspect that you need this to call some real-mode service which needs 
an address of a buffer.  If so, please read sections 18.2 and 18.4 of the 
DJGPP FAQ list (available as v2/faq210b.zip from the same place you get 
DJGPP).  It explains how to do these things from DJGPP programs, since 
that's quite different from what you are used to in real-mode programs.
